Limit Me Not
How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love you until my dying breath was just a flutter.
My soul could not care to live, and yet not shudder.
I love you until Time collapsed upon itself
And all we could have known simply sat upon a shelf-
Weeping.
I love you more than words can express-limited in
Quantity, Quality, and Taste.
But can I love you until the Son itself has come back
To Live and Love?
Can I love you until the Son itself has come round
And bourne itself to the ground?
Indeed I can. And that is how I have yet to love.
Because as bleak as the night may be at the latest hours.
My heart believes in love, as a set of open doors.
